St George buys big batteries, but smaller since May

St George homes choose large batteries: Hurstville averages 36.7 kWh. Since the federal discount started paying less above 14 kWh on 1 May 2026, the average has dropped by about 7 kWh, the biggest fall of the four areas we cover.

For most St George homes, 10 to 15 kWh covers the evening and still earns the full rate. If a quote pushes you towards 40 kWh, ask what you would use it for.

The rate drops again on 1 January 2027

The rebate is fixed on the day the battery goes in. From 1 January the same battery earns about 16% less.

What St George roofs need

Shaded terraces and semis

Around Hurstville, Kogarah and Penshurst, small roofs are often shaded by neighbours. Enphase microinverters keep one shaded panel from dragging down the rest.

Open roofs on bigger blocks

In Oatley, Lugarno, Peakhurst Heights and Blakehurst, larger unshaded roofs suit a 10 kW system and a battery.

Units and strata

Hurstville, Kogarah and Rockdale have many apartments. Solar on a strata building needs the owners corporation; we can tell you what is practical first.

Near the water

Sans Souci, Dolls Point, Kyle Bay and the Georges River foreshore get salt air. We use stainless fixings and coastal-rated equipment there.

Solar in St George: Frequently Asked Questions

Where are you based?

Our office is at Boundary Road, Peakhurst, in the middle of St George. Most St George jobs are a short drive from base.

About 18,700 solar systems are registered across the region’s 12 postcodes, roughly 33 for every 100 houses. Peakhurst and Mortdale–Oatley have the highest rate at 37.

Before the rebate changed on 1 May 2026, the full rate applied to more of each battery, and many homes bought 30 kWh or more. Since then the average has dropped to about 28 kWh.

Usually, yes. Small or shaded roofs suit panel-level electronics like Enphase microinverters. We will tell you honestly if the roof is too small to be worth it.

Yes. We repair, maintain and clean solar systems, replace a failed solar inverter, and add solar batteries to an existing solar system.

We do not publish package prices, because the cost of solar panels depends on your roof, the system size, the switchboard and your tariff. You get a firm price after the site assessment, with rebates already off and the payback worked out from your own electricity prices.

Yes. Air conditioning is the other half of our business, and doing both together means one crew and one visit for the electrical work.

We do not publish package prices, because the cost of solar panels depends on your roof, the system size, your switchboard and how much power you use. You get one firm price after a free site assessment, with the STC rebate already off: about $1,700 on a 6.6 kW solar system in 2026.

Check three things: that the designer and installer hold Solar Accreditation Australia (SAA) accreditation, that the electrical contractor licence is current, and that the workmanship warranty is in writing. Ours are licence 202500C and up to 10 years, and every solar installation is done by our own crew, not subcontractors.

Often, yes. Batteries like Tesla Powerwall 3 and Sigenergy SigenStor have their own built-in inverter, so they can work alongside an older solar inverter. We test your existing system first and tell you whether a battery installation makes sense.

On most homes, no. Rooftop solar is exempt development under the NSW Transport and Infrastructure SEPP 2021. If your home is a heritage item or sits in a heritage conservation area, panels on the roof facing the street need sign-off from Georges River Council or Bayside Council first. We check this before we quote.
